Some Arteon quirks (vs other models)

[dArK5HaD0w]

The only issue I have with start/stop is that it had a habit of triggering when still rolling.

Same deal with the Superb - the start stop kicks in before the car is actually stopped!!
Frigging annoying.

So my routine everytime is:-
1. Start car
2. Deactivate Start-Stop

When I'm stopped at the lights for a while, I reactivate the start-stop.
Best of both worlds

Hey everyone.

I previously mentioned a sort of thud on launch control take off changing from 1st to 2nd. The last time it happened it was slightly raining and it has happened again without rain this time.

It doesn't happen every-time and I have a feeling it has something to do with traction because the car 'chirped' (slight wheel-spin with chirp noise due to new road) first and second.

Anyone else experienced this? I searched the internet and I can't get an consensus from people with DSG + 4WD.

I just want to confirm something... it's not possible to clear a single radio station preset is it? From what I've read, the only way is to clear everything and start again. Can anyone confirm?

Thanks.

Doesn’t saving a new station over the old one achieve the same?

[REK]

Yes, but there doesn't appear to be a way to clear the preset and leave it blank.

Same.

Sometimes they come on even when there is no rain.

That happens to me lately...because I'm not used to the indicators being on the other side...

Yes, but there doesn't appear to be a way to clear the preset and leave it blank.

Seems like it's always been a problem - even in the RNS 510 days

Anyone else get a slight clunk noise when coming to a complete stop?

It does not always happen and it seems to happen more noticeable when Auto Brake Hold is on.

I've googled around and a lot of Golf R owners say it is a normal characteristic of the DSG.

Another note.

Anyone else getting a sort of rattle on a cold start? Not always present. A kind of vrrrrrrrrr metal clicking sound.

Again, I'm led to believe this is another characteristic of the TSI engine. In my Toyota Aurion a smilmar noise happened (but much louder) and this meant it was overdue for an oil change.

Yeah I sometimes get a little bit of one. Like it's changing down into 1st gear or something. Not so much a clunk but more of a feeling throughout the car. Like one of the clutches kicking in.
